Congrats on the grandson, and to anyone with new chicks!

I finally re-homed my Sebright rooster; the family that got him had a nice big coop in the countryside without any roosters, and were looking for a small, fancy roo for their broody bantam hen (and the other 11 hens of varying sizes as well). They had 2 kids who loved chickens and they produced their own mealworms as chicken treats, so I feel pretty lucky to have found them! I think my hens are a little bit confused about the loss of their rooster, but I got them some extra mealworms and crickets and sat with them for a long time to make up for taking their man away. On the positive side, now we can all sleep in past 5:30 am! And I won't be fined for having a rooster illegally.

Maybe now that I'm down to 3 tiny hens, I'll have to do some chicken math...

Please keep a good thought/say a prayer for my daughter Erin today as she flies off to horse world. I am freaking out a bit and will be until I know that she has landed in NJ been picked up by a nice person and then taken to her new home. Then I will freak out about a whole bunch of other things I am sure but for today if you all kept the "Safe Travels and Happy Landings" mojo going for her I will be so grateful.

GallusGirl feels good to land a good home for a roo doesn't it. Congratulations.

Out of the coop, out of the run and right outside the back door. Sorry but I just think they are so cute and she is such a great mama; I hope you can stand another picture of my broody and her babies.

So cute I love to watch mama hens with babies sticking their little heads out everywhere. I have a hen who wants to go broody I have been taking her eggs away I forgot how cute it is .

Hi everyone! I'm trying to catch up on all the cute chick and baby pics.

I am wondering if there are any people that sell day-old flowerhen chicks in the northern california area (silkies went broody again...)

Cheers,

Christina

Yes gratz gallus!
Tommysgirl she will be great. I hope she loves it as much as she thinks she will.

OK got skunked again. This time with sadder results. He snuck onto the covers porch via an open door ( mistake) and grabbed snickerdoodles and her baby. It was sad and our own fault.

Deb I will be emailing you about catching skunk tips. Trap is baited I will be rubbing it with bacon breese today. Hopefully it won't catch the dog while I'm away onsite till Saturday. Mario might leave him in there!

Anyone have a small Serama hen? I don't know how a pair will do. Butters seems very lonely with just snicker daddy.
